Instructions
Section references are to the Internal
Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.
Purpose of schedule. Use Schedule P to
show the computation of taxable income
used in computing (1) the transfer price from
a related supplier to an IC-DISC (Part II) or (2)
the IC-DISC commission from a related
supplier (Part III).
Complete and attach a separate
Schedule P to Form 1120-IC-DISC for each
transaction or group of transactions to which
the intercompany pricing rules of sections
994(a)(1) and (2) are applied.
IC-DISC taxable income. Generally, the
intercompany pricing determinations are to be
made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
However, the IC-DISC may make an annual
election to determine intercompany pricing on
the basis of groups consisting of products or
product lines. If the group basis is elected,
then all transactions for that product or
product line must be grouped. Each group is
limited to one type of transaction (i.e., sales,
leases, or commissions).
A product or product line determination will
be accepted if it conforms to either of the
following standards: (1) a recognized industry
or trade usage or (2) major product groups (or
any subclassifications within a major product
group) (see Schedule P (Form 1120-IC-DISC)
Codes for Principal Business Activity on page
13 of the Instructions for Form
1120-IC-DISC). The corporation may choose
a product grouping for one product and use
the transaction-by-transaction method for
another product within the same tax year.
Generally, the computation of taxable
income under the intercompany pricing rules
will not be permitted to the extent that their
application would result in a loss to the
related supplier.
Each of the following methods may be
applied for sales, leases, and services. See
the regulations under section 994.
50-50 combined taxable income method.
The transfer price the related supplier charges
the IC-DISC, or the related supplier’s IC-DISC
commission, is the amount that lowers the
taxable income the IC-DISC derives from the

transaction to an amount that is no more than
the sum of (1) 50% of the IC-DISC’s and
related supplier’s combined taxable income
attributable to the qualified export receipts
from the transaction and (2) 10% of the
IC-DISC’s export promotion expenses (as
defined in Regulations section 1.994-1(f))
attributable to the qualified export receipts.
Do not include in combined taxable income
(line 13) the discount amount reflected in
receivables (on the sale of export property)
that a related supplier transferred to the
IC-DISC. See Regulations sections
1.994-1(c)(3) and (6)(v).
See Part I, Section A instructions below if
marginal costing rules apply.
4% gross receipts method. The transfer
price charged by the related supplier to the
IC-DISC or IC-DISC commission from the
related supplier is the amount that ensures
that the taxable income derived by the
IC-DISC from the transaction does not
exceed the sum of (1) 4% of the qualified
export receipts of the IC-DISC derived from
the transaction and (2) 10% of the export
promotion expenses (as defined in
Regulations section 1.994-1(f)) of the IC-DISC
attributable to the qualified export receipts.
Section 482 method. The transfer price
the related supplier charged the IC-DISC, or
IC-DISC commission from the related
supplier, is the amount actually charged, but
is subject to the arm’s length standard of
section 482. Do not complete Schedule P if
the section 482 method is used.
Incomplete transactions. For the 50-50
and 4% methods, if the related supplier sells
property to the IC-DISC during the year but
the IC-DISC does not resell it during the year,
the related supplier’s transfer price to the
IC-DISC must equal the related supplier’s
cost of goods sold. Do not complete
Schedule P for incomplete transactions. The
related supplier’s transfer price to the
IC-DISC must be recomputed for the year in
which the IC-DISC resells the property and
the transaction must then be reported on
Schedule P for that year.
Part I, Section A—Combined Taxable
Income. Complete Section A-1 only if
marginal costing is not used.

For purposes of line 2d, be sure to include
the appropriate apportionment of deductions
that are not directly allocable such as interest
expenses and stewardship expenses. See
Temporary Regulations sections 1.861-11T(f)
and 1.861-14T(f) for an explanation of
appropriate apportionment.
Complete Section A-2 if marginal costing is
used. The marginal costing rules may be used
only for sales, or commissions on sales, of
property if the 50-50 method is used.
Marginal costing cannot be used for
(1) leasing of property, (2) performance of
services, or (3) sales of export property that
(in the hands of a purchaser related under
section 954(d)(3) to the seller) give rise to
foreign base company sales income as
described in section 954(d) unless, for the
purchaser’s year in which it resells the
property, section 954(b)(3)(A) applies or the
income is under the exceptions in section
954(b)(4).
Line 10. The overall profit percentage may
be computed under an optional method. See
Regulations section 1.994-2(c)(2) for details.
Part I, Section B and Section C. Complete
Section B or Section C. You must complete
Section B if marginal costing is used.
Line 22. If IC-DISC taxable income on a
sale is computed under the 4% method and
the IC-DISC chooses to apply the special rule
for transfer prices or commissions, check the
box in line 22 and attach a separate
computation of the limitation on IC-DISC
taxable income determined under the special
rule and enter the amount on line 22. Under
the special rule, a transfer price or
commission will not be considered to cause a
loss for a related supplier if the IC-DISC’s net
profit on the sale does not exceed the
IC-DISC’s and related supplier’s net profit
percentage on all their sales of the product or
product line. See Regulations section
1.994-1(e)(1)(ii) for details.
Reporting Part II and Part III amounts on
Form 1120-IC-DISC. If the computed transfer
price for sales, leases, or services (Part II) or
IC-DISC commission (Part III) is entered on
more than one line of Form 1120-IC-DISC,
attach an explanation indicating the portion of
the total that is applied to each line.
